Use these guides when a formula is moving from the bench into bottles, tins, sanitation, filling, shipping, or selling copy.
Start with packaging choices
How to Choose Packaging for Beard Oils, Balms, and Waxes
Choose packaging for beard oils, balms, and waxes based on dispensing, contamination risk, heat resistance, oxidation, and how the product will actually be used.
Containers and closures
